Very pretty Shirley. A simple setting gives just the right appeal.

That's so true ... :o)

A very nice display the people who live in that house have made!

They certainly have ... it was a treat to see the colourful flowers.

Very beautiful! Are they petunias? I grow the wave variety outside all year. It’s very good for all year long color.

Delonix, I'm pretty sure they are Petunias, a trailing variety of which there are many.

Thanks! I love petunias! I grow them here all year. They bloom all year, also.

How wonderful to have them in bloom al year round. A sharp frost here would definitely kill them off.

I continually take cuttings so I have new plants growing all year.

Yes, I’m lucky here in San Diego. We have a 365 day growing season and never a frost.

Delonix, that would be my dream!

Any gardener's dream! 😆

It’s very nice being able to plant and propagate plants outside all year.🌞😃

Something that is impossible in the UK!

They probably grow outside most of the year, right?

Petunias only grow outdoors in the UK between about May & October, generally. There are exceptions as well, like last year there were some self-sown Petunias that survived being encased in ice & temps of -7C! I even took photos of them because I knew nobody would believe me - I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't seen them with my own two eyes!

Wow! Encased in ice, that’s amazing!

17 Oct, 2024

 

Yes, that's why I took some photos as I knew nobody would believe me! I wouldn't have believed it either!

Did you post the pics?

18 Oct, 2024

 

I'm not sure! I'll have a look & see if I can find them & if I can't I'll see if I can upload them to my photos page.

18 Oct, 2024

 

Yes, I did upload a photo, if you go to page 4 of my photos you will see it there!

Thank you 🙏! I’ll check it out.
